Shelby Farms Greenline

Where once an abandoned rail line lay rotting and overgrown, the mid-south’s newest urban park and trail is springing to life. The shelby Farms Greenline is a seven-mile span that runs frm Shelby Farms into the heart of Midtown. Built upon a former CSX railroad line, this first-of-it’s-kind community amenity will feature a pave walking, jogging and biking trail, provide spaces for gardens and greenscaping, an connect neighborhoods and neighbors in an brand new way.

Greenlines in other cities have resulted in increased property values, reduced crime and a greater sense of community, in addition to providing a safe route for non-motorized commuting and recreation.

The Shelby Farms Greeline is a multi-use rails-to-trails project spanning seven miles from Tillman Street to Farm Road in Shelby Farms Park.

Shelby Farms Park manages and operates the Shelby Farms Greenline with the support of volunteers from surrounding neighborhoods.
